THE PETITION FAVORABLY RECEIVED, TELEGRAM TO THE WEW YORK HERALD. Lonpon, July 15, 1871. A despatch from Stuttgard announces the recep- tion to-day of adeputation from the American Evan- Gelical Alliance by Prince Gortchakofl, who is now sojourning in that city, The address from the Alliance to the Czar was presented and favorably received. It contains the following:— To His IMPERIAL MAJsESTY ALEXANDER IL, EM- PEROR OF ALL THE RuSSIAs:— The undersigned, citizens of the United States of America and delegates of the American branch of the Evangelical Alliance, which is an organization composed of Protestant Christians of different de- nominations and countries, beg leave most respect- fully to explain the circumstances which have prompted this appeal to Your Imperial Majesty. By increased (aciiliies of intercommunication the unity of the human family »ecomes more and more @ practical reality. National acts of justice and philanthropy exert adirect tofluence beyond the boundartes of the countries in which they originate. ‘The benevolent decrees of Your Impertai Majesty in reference to the serfs commanded the admiration of ail the friends of humanity in our own land and throughout the world, and had a favorable effect upon our own government tn bringing about shortly atterwards the emanctpation of four millions of slaves. Confidence in the well known benevolence of Your Imperial Majesty emboldens us to express the profound sympathy feit by multitudes in our own country with a luarze number ot Your Imperial Majesty's subjects in the Baltic provinces, whose condition is so emphatically described in the report made to Your Imperial Majesty by Count Bobrinskt in April, 1864, and who by existing laws are prevented from opealy returning to the faith of their Lutheran ancestors, As Americans we venture to refer to the results of our own national experience as illustrating the effects of religtous lib- erty op the welfare of individuais and the stability ofgoveruments. By religious liberty we ao not tn- tend treedom from all authority, much Jess that all opinions are equaily good, but simply the right of every individual to believe ana worship according to his own free conse ence, responsible only to the au- thority of God, a8 revealed in His Holy Word. In the United States all religious denommations and forms of worship are equal before the law, which, supporting none, protects all, and never in- terferes witn thelr internal affairs. The orthodox Greek Church, though with us the smallest as to numbers, enjoys in every reapect the same Ilberty as the largest denommation, Tf may build elurchéa, propagile its oplaions and extead its infucace as freely In the United States as in the emplre of Rus- sla. This religious freedom we have fount not only a relief to the State from agltations and cares, but the surest pledge of social order and national unity, by promoting mutual respect and charity among the different denominations, and by imparting a sense of security to alin the common enjoyment of their most sacred rights, In view of these considerations we respecifully unite our request with that of our brethren in Europe in behalf of Your Imperial Majesty's subjects 1u the Baltic provinces, that they may be permitted to worship God and to educate their children ac- cording to the faith of their fathers, and [vee pre- ference of their own consciences. Still further, in behalf of American missionaries, distinguished by mteliigence, plecy and scholarship, who haye labored long and successfully among Armenians, Nestorians and other Christians under Mahometan rule in Turkey, and op the borders of the Russian dominions, we beg leave to ask that Your Imperial May Christian government may be induced to grant, within the limits of Its yurisdice tion, among all subjects not belonging the or thodox Greek Church, liberty of worship and re- higious institutions, including circulation of the Holy Scriptures, In support of the memorial which we now earnestly aud respectfully present we appeal to the gentus of Christlanity, which, being spiritual in tts nature, requires moral influence and motives; to the sacred rights of couscience, which demand an outward expression in freedom of public worship; to the spirit of modern civilization, which favors religious liberty and scems to antictpate its universal preva- lence, and to the precepts of Jesus Christ, whose Kingdom is not of Us world, and who ts “the Head over ail things to the Chuved.” In tae sincere hope that Your Impertal Majesty may lave the high satisfaction of adding another to those great acts of benevolence which have inspired the gratitude of mankind, and devoutly invoking upon Your Imperiat jesty and upon al! Russia the blessing of Almighty God, by whom Kings reign ana princes decree justice, we subdseribe ourselves, with profound respect, Your [mpertal Majesty's obedient servants, WILLIAM ADAMS.

The following discussion took place in the Na- tional Assembly, on June 29, on the fraudulent pur- chases of arms by M. Victor I lately French Consul at New York:— The Duke D'Aupirerer Pasguigx—On the 4th March last the Assembly appointed a commutice of Sixty members to inquire into ail the contracts made by the governinent on the occasion of the war, We have thought advisab!e not to watt uatil the ter- mination ot our mission to give an account of it to you, but to present a succession of reports which will p the Chamber informed of the progress of our ja- bors, (Hear, hear.) On enteriug on our task wo found ourselves in presence of 84,000 files of documents. (Movoment.) We therefore divided the work among five sub-committees, each of which undertook a particular branch of the inguiry, From the commencement we under- stood that the commitice should not be a political machine, but @ tribunal of honor to judge the moraiity and honor of men who may ave taken part in the acts it had to maquire into, We were also under the necessity of acting promptly, tor many firms are waiving anxiously for the sums due to them, and respectable houses might be involved in dificuiues by a prolonged delay. The committee has nad to inquire into con- tracts amounting to no less sum than ,100 Mi lions of trancs, (Movement.) Many meu Who contributed their assistance to the govera- ment have been unjustly suspected by" pubite opinion; the burden of ca’umny is hard to bear, therefore the duty of the committee has been to lose no tme in publishing the truth. Delays have, however, occurred, in consequence of the impossivitily of aving access to papers in Paris during the tnsurrection, The com- mittee has thought that it ought not to conine itself to reporting on the result of its mvestigation, put should also pass Its judgment on the facts re- veuled, 1m order that those Culprits wo may not be nable to the tribunals may be exposed in the pulory of pubiie opinion. (Hear, hear.) The com- mittee has been saddened with une spectacle of a wigh funetionary Itberally patd, who had been charged to guard the interests of the country in controlling the purchases of arms, and Who took advantage of his position to betray the confidence of the country. “A wealthy American manufacturer, Who piacea iis works gra- | tuliously at the service of this country, has disclosed the frauds comriitted to our prejudice, Is tv suf- ticjent in such cases to merely announce the facta? No, they must |e exposed in all their de- tals, and the guilty parties must be branded with infamy, ear, hear.) The com- mittee nas been resvived to know the whole truth and has searched in the most secret recesses. The result has been to show that a country cannot wic ness with impunity the spectacie presented by the empire for twenty years. If we have found an absence of patriotic feelug and also widely developed thirst for lucre, the cause is to be attribuced to the example the nation has had beiore it, (Movement). The populations must be informed of the real cause of our misfor- tunes, and especially at tois moment, W..en the pare tisans ol the imperial régine are blamug every- thing that has been done since its downfall, and are soliciting the suifrages of the electors, But 1 shall ve glad to see them here that they may reply to me, A voice on the Kight—They will answer you, (Agi- tation.) Duke D’AUDIFPRET PASQUIER—They will answer, Why do you not do so atonce? (Loud applause.) L can understand that Prince Napoleon is impatient to ascend this tribune. After Prochu and Changar- nier, he must be anxtous to say how and on what field of batue he defended his country. (Hear, hear.) Let him coue. His palace of Meudon is awaiting him. (Movement.) He will not fini there now ns scuilions and his kennels. (Hear, hear.) He will see what has been done with his country while he was smoking mis cigarettes at Prangins. (Hear, hear.) When again he shail cast stones at the men who vore the burden of affairs they will cell him that nis duty ts to be silent and allow himself to be forgotten. (Applause) I am not sure whether the committee will be able to make the guilty parties give up their tl-acquired fortunes, but we shalt at least show to France, Wao is awaittng with anxiety your verdict on What 1s faxing flace, that there is a moment When those unfarthtul servants have to render an account of theiracts, (Hear, hear,) ask the Chamber to now hear the first report of the committee on the affair of New York, (Appiause.) M. RiANT—The Committee of Armament was ied by the Insufficiency of the European face tories to make purchases in Amertoa througn M. Piace, the Consul General at New york. The amount which he — expended hee 64,000,000 frares, employed in & most dis astrous manner.

Under the titie of Con- suiar Commission he obtained an allowance of two cent on his purthases, which allowance gave him 605,000f. (Movement) Under ordt- nary circumstances Consuls have no right to any commission, One las usally veen ae- corded them on tobacco, but soiely for that of Havana, and when the total exceeds one million the commission is reduced to one per cent. in addition to what he charged for himself, he ob. tained one per cent tn the name of M. Chornito, who served him as an Bogen interpreter, thal’ sum amounting to 300,000f, (Movement.) The indi- vidual just mentioned succeeded in inducing the house of Remington to increase its invoics li, 26¢e. for each weapon, of which augmenta. tion he was to recetve one-third. The total added reached 872,000f,, but the guilty parties only received @ part of the profit tuey expected. Those facts were stated on oath by Colonel Squeen, whose good faith bad been surprised. M. Place also pur- chased provisions, but the committee only obtained the documents on the 3ist of May, and these show that the acts above-mentioned are not the most culpa- ble. The commitiee had to trace back to their origin the abuses specified and report thereon. The choice of Consul, for instance, 13 frequently extremely inx.

Chronicle of to-morrow morning:— GLoucesrer, July 1871, GBNTLEMEN—1 have ths toner (0 ackuowiedge* yours of July 13, propounding certain direct ques tions which fou say ‘seem to us the people have #*- right to ask of promiicut political mea.” Fully acknowledging Four right, | answer:— K L political situasion. of the withdrawiae of Governor of tis tion, Ldo propose (o alow my re the Convention for that biggie Itis one that may tu ynorabic. Amba. of any man, and, like ¢ other object of honorable ambition, 13 to be soughs for by alt proper* means. Your second question { have answered to my re- ply to the first, by use tt Dr. Loring had made any agreement, elther express or implied, wich me, by which 1 was to give him any support, however feeble, tor the bigit oftice of Goverarr, in considera fron of his advocacy of myself for Cougress, such an agreement would not bea proper meank by which that office should 0e attained ; therefore any intimation of such an agreement ts a slan- der upoo him as well as upon myaolt. ‘The fatsity of such assertion is seen waen the eles ment of lime, which th: detractors of Dr. Lering and myself do not seem to Ke into account, ia observcd, My tirst candidature for Congress, whea De, Loring was at all in the fie d, was in L164, two years, only, after he came into the republican party, andy when ft ts uureasonable to suppose he could have had any expectation or thought of being tts canat date for Governor, or could have been making are rangements therefor. 1b was also during the incumbency of Governor Bullock, befora Governor Ciafl was even @ candidate, 80 that any arrangement, as 13 alleged — ime some democrauc papel ot what should happen alter the incumbency of Governor Clatin was phy- sically tmpossible, The lecter of withdrawal ot Dr. Loring, which was published av that time, was written by him Without any coasuita tion with me and without my kaowleage until tb was) in writing, ani no word was said by Dr. Loriog ant mysell, or passed bew tween any trend of is or myseil, Upon tie subjece oft yourinquiry.

To your lourth ques‘ion—relating to the propriety of the enfyrcement of law—L reply: No law ou the ~ salute book affecting the general welfare of tha peop.e, in my judgment, should be permitted to re- ' by the incumbs name for renomins name to be used main unexecnted.
